Dear Harvest Life Church Family:
Happy New Year and welcome to our Year of Significance – 2024!
This is a year, whether you know it or not, that God has been preparing you for and is scheduled to be your BEST year yet! It will be “your year” because in this new season God is going to accomplish great things through you as you use your intelligence, ingenuity, gifts, talents and more to advance His Kingdom!
2024 is also going to be a significant year for Harvest Life! With our 2024 theme, “United to Build”, we believe that God is going to do something powerful in our lives – personally and as a church family this year. As we continue to work in unity to build our new Worship Center, God is going to build us! Get ready to go to the next level in your service and sacrifice...and get ready to experience next-level blessings!
Thank you for being an extraordinarily loving and supportive church. Your participation in our community drives throughout this past year including our most recent Christmas Toy Drive reflects the spirit of generosity of Harvest Life! We were able to bless many families in need with toys so their children could experience a very merry Christmas. Glory to God!
Last month, during our Vision Night for 2024, we shared our vision for the new year and that we want every member to embrace it and help bring it to pass. We talked about three main goals that are imperative for success in 2024:
1. Being Strong in Active Kingdom Recruitment
2. Being Strong as a Life System Church for Discipleship of Souls
3. Being Strong Financially to Sustain the Vision
These three goals have all to do with building; building our membership, building and strengthening souls through discipleship and building our finances to sustain the Vision. God will do great things in and through us in the new year! Philippians 1:6 says Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
